Ive heard people talking about unschoolers who transferred into college. How can that be?
If unschoolers have taken college courses, the credits they earned can be used toward a “transfer” admissions record. Generally speaking, students are considered true “transfer” students if they have a year of credit established. If you are interested in the “transfer into college” method of admissions, be sure to work closely with admissions officers of the schools which interest your teen. Two things are important to remember. (1) In most cases courses taken as a “special student” will not count towards graduation if your son or daughter eventually matriculates at the same college. (2) It is important to note that you must not submit any college course work to an admissions officer with the stipulation that the courses were taken to complete high school work. If you do, those credits will not be considered college credits but, rather, high school graduation requirements.
